Yes. An IDP must be reviewed within 12 months of the date on which a copy of the IDP is given to the child, YP or parent: s.23(1) ALNET.
Any subsequent review must take place by the end of the period of 12 months starting with the date on which a revised IDP, or notice of a decision not to revise the IDP is first given to the child, the child’s parent, the independent reviewing officer for a looked after child, or the young person: ss.23 & 24 ALNET.
If none of those actions are taken, the 12 month period begins on the first day after the end of the preceding review period: s.23(4) ALNET. If the copy, revised copy, or notice that the IDP is not to be revised, is given late, the giving of the copy or notice is ignored.
If the IDP is given to different parties on different dates, it is the date on which it is first given that counts: ss.23(3) and 24(3) ALNET.
To be on time, the IDP or notice the IDP will not be revised has to be given within the 12 month period: para 25.0 ALN Code 2021.
